OAC getting the hang of capitalism

[Geoist]

Don't make me laugh, she has single handedly disproven dumb blonde jokes forever.

You guys are weirdly obsessed with a member of the House. Who in the House has gotten this much attention that isn't the Speaker? And we supposedly have TDS over the frikkin' POTUS.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

so Griz, you and every other conservative here really do hate AOC.

I don't hate her. I feel as sorry for her as I do anyone else that could compete in the Special Olympics.

Oh and since you've been here since 2011 remember how you and yours foamed at the mouth about stimulus. Notiice how you love it now?

I do?

 

[Geoist]

I don't hate her. I feel as sorry for her as I do anyone else that could compete in the Special Olympics

Dude, enough with the ableism. It's disgusting.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

"Ableism?"

well griz, I guess its possible you don't hate her. Maybe you're one of the few conservatives who can see through the typical conservative lies. Maybe you're one of the few who didn't believe President Obama was born in Kenya. But griz, I asked you to make a case to call her dumb and you didn't. Yea, that's pretty typical of conservatives. You hate who you're told to hate but cant quite put it into words. And that would explain your third grade-esque insuts.

I do?

Again, maybe you're one of the few conservatives who can think for themselves and didnt obediently rant at stimulus under President Obama and now complain that dems are holding it up. But enough about all that. You called AOC a retard and I asked you to make a case. thanks in advance

 

[Geoist]

"Ableism?"

Even if you've never heard of it I'm sure you can figure it out.

 

[it's just me]

It is only people who get their news from questionable places who think AOC is anti-capitalist. She fights for the working class. She fights for a society that looks after its citizens. She fights for a just society. You can do all of these things under capitalism. Take a look at just about every other western democracy.

She believes America can do better. Many in America feel that it is just too hard. Congress could use more like her. America needs fighters in government, fighters who fight for people, we have too many who fight for the corporate welfare bums.

How was that Kool Aid?

 

[rjay]

How was that Kool Aid?

I am no big fan of AOC. I just look at policy proposals and categorize them correctly. I understand her proposals and categorize them correctly. You get your information from questionable sources. Because of this you are unable to discern between proposals that are anti-capitalist and those that fit within the capitalist model.

Please do not question my knowledge by using ploys that do little but expose your lack of knowledge. It makes you look foolish.

"Capitalism isn’t so bad after all!

Firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has come up with a new campaign money-maker: Sell the rich expensive sweatshirts — about taxing the rich.

The Democratic socialist lawmaker’s website is now selling a bunch of pricey apparel with trendy slogans like “Abolish ICE,” “Drink water & don’t be racist” and “Tax the rich.”

The line of merchandise caught the eye of pundits on Twitter who pointed out the hypocrisy of an anti-capitalism legislator coming up with their own clothing line.

“AOC is selling $65 dollar sweatshirts that say ‘tax the rich’ that only rich ppl can afford. Should just say ‘Tax Me,'” wrote user @MattsIdeaShop on Wednesday with a photo of the “Tax the rich” top.

“When you’re aiming for socialism but you hit capitalism,” they added.

Another pundit noted that the 31-year-old progressive icon and “Squad” leader was also a member of the wealthy class given her six-figure congressional income.

“Only the rich can afford this idiotic sweatshirt,” added Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro.

Among the swag up for grabs is a Green New Deal organic baby onesie for $25, a $28 “abolish ICE” cap and a Green New Deal dog collar for $17.

The proceeds from the apparel don’t go to a charity, but Ocasio-Cortez’s political machine, with a disclaimer on the website warning “Purchases are campaign contributions.”

It appears the price of the USA-made sweatshirt has since been reduced and is now $58."

She’s so smart. My god this woman. *Swoon*

Why should AOC not make money? I’m unclear on this line of argument: if one participates in a capitalist society ,why wouldn’t they want to make money? If your argument ist hat she is anti-making money, that’s a super simplistic take.

Also, if we’re doing this, it means every person that is identified as a pro-lifer should provide paperwork proving they’ve adopted children. Can’t take a position on these things, gotta commit to the pot, amirite?

I didn't call her dumb. I called her a retard.

Yea, that's pretty typical of conservatives. You hate who you're told to hate but cant quite put it into words. And that would explain your third grade-esque insuts.

See her square off against someone who isn't retarded (her exchange with Thomas Homan of ICE) and watch her not be able to even form a sentence.

 

[Fledermaus]

Only racists and sexists bother to attack a first term out of state Rep. It's politically futile. No one gives a shit about a ****ing freshman Rep; they have no relative power.

Only racists and sexists and those who abhor hypocrisy....

Fixed that for you.

poor griz, I knew you couldn't provide an example. But golly, if you think she's a retard, I just have to know what you call trump. Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

LOL, this really does strike me as in poor taste.

I wonder if she is affiliated with this or not.

 

[ecofarm]

Only racists and sexists and those who abhor hypocrisy....

Fixed that for you.

"Those who abhor hypocrisy" spend all their time attacking a brown female first term Rep while ignoring Trump. Yeah, that makes sense. Like it's not sexist and racist. Yeah, it's just concern about hypocrisy.

What a ****ing joke.

Like people didn't know Democrats raise campaign funds. Yeah, people thought Democrats don't do that. Sure. What the **** is wrong with some idiots. This is not about raising campaign funds. This is about scumbag sexist racist inbred necks attacking a brown female Rep and pretending it's noble.

Stupid sexist racist Trumpers all worried about hypocrisy. Sure. Who the **** do you think you're fooling. Why would you allow such scum to frolic unopposed?

 

[Vern]

I just gave you an example. You included it in your quote, ffs.

oh grizz I'm sorry, your assurances something or someone was retarded is more than adequate for a pre-teen conservative chatroom but this is debate forum. Here's me documenting the fact that trump easily meets your definition of retarded.

In a new interview with Fox News, President Trump again repeated what is becoming his proudest triumph as president — allegedly passing a test for cognitive impairment......
The last questions are much more difficult,” he said. “Like a memory question. It’s, uh, like you’ll go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ So they say, ‘Could you repeat that?’ So I said, ‘Yeah.’ So it’s ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ ‘Okay, that’s very good.’”
Trump Brags He Repeated 5 Words on ‘Difficult’ Dementia Test (nymag.com)

And griz, we could go on for weeks with examples of trump being retarded as well as corrupt, dishonest and incompetent. If you were an honest American, you would hold both Trump and AOC to the same standard but you're a conservative. Anyhoo, everytime I see AOC speak I see not only an intelligent woman but sharp as well. And thats why you were told to hate her. Your conservative masters appreciate your obedience.

 

[j brown's body]

Well, here's the dingbat herself:

It could be an argument for regulated capitalism. And a good argument at that. To take a phrase from the right-wing, capitalism is great until you you've taken everyone else's money.

Much the same argument put forth by Louis Brandeis: "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

 

[it's just me]

I don't care what she does if she pays the taxes she expects everybody else to pay. Leftwits have a habit of not paying their taxes, and AOC doesn't even know what a garbage disposal is, I don't expect her to to be able to run a business.

What does that have to do with the pro-life/pro-death argument?

Seems to me all the “pro”-life people voted twice for the guy who killed 300k Americans. What else did you want to discuss about it?

democrats have a habit of not paying their taxes? wow, who knew. Wait, did you get this info from the same people who told you President Obama was born in Kenya, his BC a forgery, he wants to kill old people, the vile and disgusting "stand down" lies and that republicans really really really want to lower the deficit if not balance the budget? And I have to chuckle that AOC makes a humorous video about the first time she sees a garbage disposal conservatives obediently go crazy. Next thing you know, you'll catch her dancing or something.
